I've had a carton of hazelnut-milk sitting on the shelf for the past month, and when I woke up with a craving for hot porridge this morning, I decided it was time to try it out. The nut-milk tastes fantastic.

I used it in a porridge of large rolled oats and topped it with cinnamon sugar and chopped hazelnuts. The recipe is for two.

Place the oats, nut-milk and water in a small pot and bring to the boil while stirring. Reduce the heat and let the porridge boil gently for two minutes. Stir in the salt.Divide the porridge between two bowls, add a lump of butter/margarine to each and top with cinnamon sugar and chopped nuts.

Variation: you can use other kinds of milk substitutes for the porridge, or use regular milk and butter for the recipe if you prefer. Try topping the porridge with cardamom sugar and fresh apple.
